   1. Is there any good reason for changing 'brick' to 'bricks' ? If that's
   what you're searching for, look for 'brick', it won't matter if there's ans
   on the end
   2. 'Bricks' clearly describes "bricks" but does 'brick' describe
   'brick-like' as in material [brick dust, (bricks dust)].

We are perhaps familiar with brick walls but not bricks wall - raising the
question should the pluralising s be removed ?

If it's not hurting anyone, leave it alone ?
